The Flintstones will return as an animated movie featuring the voices of WWE wrestling talent.

Scheduled to arrive in early 2015, the Warner Bros and WWE Studios co-production will see Hanna-Barbera's famous cartoon duo Fred and Barney joined by new characters Vince McMagma (voiced by Vince McMahon), John Cenastone (John Cena) and CM Punkrock (CM Punk).

The story will centre around a prehistoric WWE event, according to Deadline.

Another crossover film due for 2014, Scooby Doo! Legend of WrestleMania, will see Scooby and the gang solving a mystery at Wrestlemania.

WWE Studios president Michael Luisi said of the partnerships: "WWE is family-friendly entertainment, so partnering with Warner Bros. on a Flintstones/WWE project was a natural extension of our Scooby Doo deal.
